I have a 135 that my great-uncle bought new back in 1967. The hydraulics are controlled by two levers between your legs. The lever on the left controls the 3-point hitch and the lever on the right controls a hydraulic cylinder in the front of the tractor that is attached to a plow. Would this control be a MF option? Or something he rigged up?
I mow a field with this tractor a few times a month with a 6ft finish mower. It takes about 3 hours to do the job and while I am mowing the hydraulic control gets HOT. You cannot touch it without burning your fingers. If you feel the gear case that it is attached to it is also extremely hot. Too hot to touch that is for sure. I don't recall it ever getting hot like this in the past, but maybe it always has and I just did not notice it. The oil level is where it should be in the transmission.
Any thoughts as to why this is getting so hot? I included a few pics of the hydraulic control.
